Mark Twain Estates - beautifully landscaped nearly 1/2 acre in private Mark Twain with sunrise views, pathways, flowers, producing fruit trees & many sitting areas. A plant list is attached. The architect carefully designed the original custom built multi-faceted 1/1 home to follow the contours of the land. The structure has a kitchen, office space, living room, bedroom & bath & the toilet is located in a separate "water closet" that can be accessed from the outside deck.There are two custom-built nooks, each one designed to fit a full size bed (one included). Two doorways are Torii, which are traditional Japanese gates. Several of the light fixtures are vintage Punalu'u Restaurant treasures. The lanais face the four cardinal directions & the moon/star-gazing from the south lanai is fantastic!
The second structure is a 24 ft yurt, which was built just a few years ago, with large sturdy concrete foundation piers. The yurt has a living roof over the 20 ft. wheelchair accessible level ramp with handrails. The interior has ohia transfer bars & 30" high sinks & ohia counters. Bathroom has a cedar wall for privacy. Both homes come partially furnished & will be sold as is. With two homes, multi-generational living is possible in this very special & unique retreat. Structures were built without permits.
The property comes with its own paid water meter - currently the property utilizes a shared water line. Circular driveway for easy ingress/egress. Lava Zone 6, Flood Zone X.
This part of The Big Island is where the first Polynesians landed at nearby Kealekekau Bay, meaning "the god's pathway", nearly 1500 years ago.

This area is approximately halfway between Kailua-Kona & Hilo & both cities have most major services & international airports.
